Users simply place their foot on the in-store floor graphic and scan it with their smartphone to view the trainers snuggly superimposed around their foot. They can explore the details and swipe to reveal new trainers in the range. And, of course, users can purchase directly through the app or share images via social media.

Building digital engagement

Engine Creative’s Managing Director, Matt Key, explains how Lacoste are building strong digital engagement experiences with their customers through Augmented Reality in the retail space:

“Augmented Reality offers retailers a new way of delivering immersive digital experiences in the real world. The LCST app uses AR to provide shoppers an easy way of checking out the new trainer range without having to wait for a shop assistant or take the time to take off their old shoes.

It’s perfect for the young target audience and can be used in Lacoste stores as well as in concessions to differentiate LCST from other brands.

The LCST app can also be easily updated to include new products, enabling Lacoste to build a long term relationship with users on their mobiles.”
